How many times did you think Obama was going to lose the primary?
Edited on Thu Sep-11-08 10:13 AM by truthN08
I'm guessing a few time right? HE did NOT lose the primary did he? No. So please give the man a little credit. I hate to tell you all this but this election is like no other. When your black and running for the presidency you can't run a traditional campaign. This has to be done with finesse or he loses because of the perceptions all to many voters have of black men as being angry and scary. He can NOT be the angry black man.

Please don't think that Obama is just going to lay down and roll over. It doesn't matter if Obama has a landslide or not all he has to do is win. He's playing to win and the margin doesn't matter. A win is a win and Obama is definitely playing to win. He's got everyone thinking he's against the rope and the repukes are throwing there shit at him I'm telling you he's going to unleash and come out swinging with class and is gonna kick some ass!!!

I just know that he will. This has to be tactical and done with finesse. Obama will win.

5. Barbara Boxer was kick-ass yesterday. He needs to get every woman
Senator and Representative out there for him, spelling out just what McLoser/Per Diem Barbie will mean for women in this country.

3. I never doubted that Kucinich would get my primary vote
but he didn't.
By the time NYS voted, it looked like Obama might be able to beat Hillary. I voted for Obama.

I never thought Obama would be able to best the Clintons. He did it.
